Ok everyone knows I travel quite a bit.... If the flight is 2 hours or less, I always fly coach. If I am in the San Fran Bay Area, I try VERY hard to fly in and out of Oakland and avoid San Fran Airport.... If the flight is 3 hours or more, I fly First class (I need the room to sleep and the ready access to booze is also a plus.) But over tha last year, I have been spending a lot more on my fucking plane tickets and it has me upset. Sure I could blame the price of Oil, as well as improved service and operations amongst most of the major airlines, but I am MUCH too sophisticated and intelligent than that. I know the REAL reason I am paying through the Nose these days to go from point A to Point B. It is ALL THE FAT, OBESE, DISGUSTINGLY HUGE people I see each and every day, everywhere.
You know who you are, or who I am talking about. These people, of all ages and demographics (not just over 50 white midwestern women addicted to cheez-whiz, or Mexicans) are the ones you see who can BARELY fucking walk. I, Da Burg, Crippled as I am, walk Better than most people whose only problem is obesity. These people take up space, and they fucking stink. As I am attempting to wheel speedily through the airport(s) to get from flight to flight and Bar to Bar, I get behind these fat fucks who slow me down Tremendously. It is extrmely unnerving. I hate them, I do hate these Fat Fuckers....
But the clincher is this tidbit: For the last 10 years, and especially the last 3-4 years, the average HUMAN bodyweight/mass now gets appropriate consideration and weight in calculating MANY things related to Airline performance and aircraft performance, and especially AIRFARE settings. "THIS IS BULLSHIT" cried Da Burglar in the middle of the night...
Basically, the cost of Airfare is being pushed upward and out because People (Americans) are too fat and are using too much FUEL in the planes that fly them. These costs are distributed and born by ALL people regardless of their individual weight and whether they eat responsibly or exercise. And wouldnt you know it, the cost of First Class Tickets bears a greater burden in absorbing/reflecting these increases than other fares/tix. BULLSHIT!
I think svelt, lean, sexy people should get a discount for being less girthy. If I was traveling to a culinary art and skills conference in Reno to learn healthier cokking and eating tips with my friend Gia Jordan, and between the two of us we are the epitome of good healthy eating/cooking/preparation, and it is reflected in our looks and our BMI, we should get X amount of dollars back. Gia can buy yet another Gucci bag, and I can throw several handfuls more of dollar bills at the latest Whore-du-jour to the tune of AC/DC's greatest hits. I am calling NBC Nightly News now....Gia, you will appear next to me OK? If I start talking about Drugs, be a good lamb and discuss the finer points and effectiveness of a good purging strategy.
